Default Anyone ever have a problem with Iphone alarm clock?

I have a problem in the fact it doesnt bloody work

Well sometimes it does, but like this morning it didnt go off at all and luckily i woke up 20 mins after i should have been up, but it couldnt have gone off at all because

The little alarm icon was there etc.

Anyone else come across this? looks like i cant use the alarm if its not going to work

P.s it wasnt on silent and it had plenty of battery power

Does anything ever happen in your life that doesn't involve your neighbour or your phone?

yes, but im guessing the same cant be said for yourself, if your remembering such trivial things about people on a internet forum.

Ballin is right though. Most of your posts are about your phones?

Why not join a phone forum? Srs.

Like minded? More like we took the time to read the room description, and, unlike yourself, realised we can post about mobile phones if we so wish to. But more to the point, if you don't want to read the thread you don't have too, let alone take the time to reply to them.

The iPhone has more than one volume setting, and its easy to turn one down by mistake, yet difficult to find and turn back up.

I've had this on mine

Benni take your tongue out of his arse as it's embarrasing. It's glaringly obvious to everyone else here that it's another day and another shit topic.

Hmm i have sb settings, that app that has the menu at the top of the screen by swiping your finger across the screen, one of the options is processes and lets you close any open apps............. so i guess the answer is yes?

Prove it or STFU.

Not all that often i pop up my own thread but always think twice. Clearly you don't or you wouldn't ask a public forum how many mm are in a cm.

But hey each to their own and all that.

It amuses me no end with the utter wank you ask so please keep it going

Thats the difference between me and you then, i dont give a shit what one or two people think of me on the internet, where as you do.

Seriously, if you wanted to be really pedantic you could nit pick most people on this forum, you know it and i know it

Why do i care what people think of me? That's totally not the case

Those that need to know me do and the rest can please themselves what they think.

Sorry on second thoughts i would actually prefer that some people realised i was well educated, not a chav or thick as mince so to some extent you're right.

You suggesting you don't care that you look like a complete gormless twat most of the time?

The difference is not many people would agree with you. Where as on your threads there is always more than one person commenting on your shite talk.

mine does this.
its always on charge overnight and the volume turned on and up.
i have 2 alarms set 15 min apart,
i always press snooze when the first goes off and normally get up on the second alarm or when the first snooze repeats again.
now some times i wake up and think the alarm hasnt gone off,but i know i have pressed snooze when ilook at the phone and the display is saying repeat/alarm or slide the bar to cancle something like that, no sound is heard.
if i press cancel imeediatly after that the second snooze alarm will either sound or the same screen pop up with snooze/alarm or cancle on it.
strange as this happens alot on mine

It takes the piss that they cant make the alarm clock work considering the price of the phone and how important a feature it is.

I've had loads of phones before and never had this prob.

Brilliant phones, but they have big flaws on some of the simplest things
